このビデオをご覧になって、お持ちのMac Mini Late 2014の修理方法を学びましょう。

はじめに

It's been two years since the Mac Mini's last appearance on iFixit's teardown table, but a newly revised version joins Apple's lineup this week. Is this truly a refreshed Mini, or merely a mini-refresh? Stay tuned to find out just what two years of innovation has to say for itself—it's Mac Mini teardown time.

The metal part on the 2011/2012 bottom is in the way so that won't fit. I suspect that either the metal lid has been done to prevent enterprising persons from leaving the cover off and placing a large fan there or that it was done for better shielding from the faster WiFi - the old cover did not have metal contact with the rest of the enclosure.

For the past few years I have used some foam designed for the air intake filtering on a motorbike underneath and it has kept the inside rather clean.

EDIT: Looks like their might be an open PCIE port but not confirmed, didn't read closely enough.

You can buy a higher capacity one and replace yours, or add external via Thunderbolt. I'm sticking with the spinning drive and later replacing it since I can buy a 512GB SSD for $200 easy, plus I'll have the 1TB drive. The RAM is the only upgrade I'm tempted to get, but still it just makes me so mad that they would solder it.

But doesn't the Flash drive look like RAM? It is not a drive, which means there won't be anything connected to the port where the Spinning drive would be. I'm not that tech savvy so excuse me if I'm wrong or I sound like I don't know what I'm talking about.

To answer your original question, the 256GB flash is attached to a PCIe port, and is mounted to one side of the tray in step 13. You should be able to add either an HD or SSD to the other side of the tray, and attach it to the SATA port. You'll likely need to get a special ribbon SATA cable, which I'm sure iFixit will eventually sell, along with any mounting hardware and tools you'd need (like the torx6 security driver).

The screws are not a big deal in my opinion, I actually prefer this build as I think it makes the whole construction more sturdy and sealed - but the question is - are there any security measures that will clearly indicate that the machine has been opened ? Will it void the warranty and will Apple know that we opened it ? I can't see any seals or paint on the screws so I'm hoping the answer is no as long as you don't damage the body or anything...

They can't void the warranty if you open it. They can only not cover something if you damage/break it. It a law from the 70s. Also if you read the warranty, it says that ..Damage caused is not covered..."

Somewhere, I think it was Instructibles, showed how you can use a regular slotted screwdriver on a torx security screw. I've tried it, and it works. I would imagine a small jeweler's screwdriver will fit in a torx 6 security screw head.

Maybe one of those old "security" flat screw drivers with a little notch in the center of the blade; but you really risk stripping the screw driver and the screw as you only get two contact points instead of six. If the screws are torqued in pretty good, which happens quite frequently with power drivers, it could be a challenge to undo them without the right tool.

Anybody with the PCIe SSD *only* option that can confirm if the SATA ribbon is there so that a SATA SSD or HDD can be added? I'm not convinced of the Fusion Drive with 128GB PCIe SSD. I'd rather buy the 256GB PCIe SSD option, add a SATA HDD (even 7200 RPM!) for cheap and build a much better Fusion Drive. The assumption is that the SATA ribbon will be there.

Alternatively, I'm considering the $699 Mac Mini with HDD only and replacing it with a SATA SSD 1TB. Samsung EVO and Crucial M550 are now in $400 range. I'll end up paying $200 more than a Fusion Drive but will have a full 1TB of SSD storage vs. 128GB and no spinning drive inside the Mini! I think this is a much better deal. What do you think?

The SATA cable is not present in an SSD-only configuration, but the cable in our Mac Mini Dual Hard Drive Kit is exactly what you need. We're not listing it as completely compatible yet, because of the addition of the TR6 Torx Security screws. Other than that, it's everything you need to do what you want.

AHB "consists of a polished steel shaft, a sintered bearing and fluid lubricant." In this system there "is no contact between shaft and bearing" and thus "the bearing load is carried solely by a film of fluid lubricant."

AHB is best for fans that operate at a lower speed. It's better at absorbing shock and dampening vibration than traditional ball bearings, making for a quieter fan.

Yep, the cable is compatible. The kit as a whole is not, because you'll need a TR6 Torx Security screwdriver to get in. We're working on a complete solution now, but in the mean time you can use the kit with your own TR6 to get in.

This is only a teardown, a first look at the device, so we don't show every screw we unscrew. But you'll definitely need a T9 to remove the hard drive from the drive caddy. We'll have guides up fairly soon, check the device page for their appearance!

I have a SSD (SATA III) and want to install it with this socket. OS this possible? I watched for a cable and find (http://m.ebay.de/itm/232407868135?_mwBan...) this one. But I'll think my SSD wollt fit. So is there a fitting cable or do I have to work with a optional adapter?

Depends on what you care about. The new ones should have slightly better single-thread performance, better graphics performance. Also, the new systems have faster I/O (2x Thunderbolt2) and can drive a 4k display out the HDMI port.

No, you're not stupid. Fusion drives are integrated with software in a way that merely having a HDD and a SSD aren't. If you get an SSD later it will show up as a second drive (assuming it can be done).

Well, Peter, you're not stupid because you'd risk voiding the warranty otherwise. However, Erich is not entirely right; creating a logical volume (a.k.a. Fusion Drive) in Terminal is fairly trivial (just make sure you create a USB OS X installer with DiskMaker X before popping open and screwing around with your Mini's innards and you'll be fine), and activating TRIM support is only a freeware download away (the TRIM enabling portion of TRIM Enabler is, thankfully, free). I've installed and configured such a setup on my 2009 27'' iMac, on many MacBooks and even on a 2012 Mini, and they have all been running just fine!

No, you don't risk voiding your warranty unless you damage something. By law in the US, they can not void your warranty, they can only not cover the damage you create. Just make sure you know what you are doing :-)

The third picture of step 8 shows a PCIe connector, which would take a custom cable to attach to the SSD. I fully expect iFixit to eventually sell an installation kit with this cable, along with mounting hardware and tools.

The 2014 Mac Mini has two drive connections, and the Fusion drive option takes up both. A 1 TB spinning SATA drive lives on the bottom, and a 128 GB PCIe SSD lives on top. Each connection has its own, different cable, and will only come in your configuration if it's necessary.

If you order an SSD-only configuration, you will not get a SATA cable to plug in a SATA drive later on (but our Mac Mini Dual Hard Drive Kit includes that cable, so you can always get it from us later).

In short, no matter what configuration, you can always eventually add a 1 TB SATA SSD, either by using an existing cable or buying ours. Adding a faster PCIe SSD is another question, that we hope to solve as well.

@mjl: "Advanced Format" on the drive. I've seen the same wording on other HGST drives (I have some 4GB ones). I looked it up when I got the drives and found little behind it - it's a marketing term for *something* they do internally, but it has no effect on how you use the drive.

What is the config of the SSD fitted Mac Mini? Did anybody check on this? I want to take the 1TB SSD PCIe and fit into my MacPro 2013 (basically swap the 256GB with the 1TB from Mac Mini). Then I want to put a 1TB SSD Drive into the Mac Mini where normally the HDD is. Question: In a pure PCIe SSD configured Mac Mini --> Does an SATA connector exist? Second question: Can you use the Samsung PCIe SSD in a Mac Pro 2013?

We've taken a look at the SSD-only Mac Mini, and it does not come with a SATA cable. Our Mac Mini Dual Hard Drive Kit does not yet officially support the Late 2014 Mac Mini, because of the inclusion of TR6 Torx Security screws. But, we have tested the kit's SATA cable and it is completely compatible. We'll have a complete solution soon, but if you're itching to get a SATA drive installed ASAP, I'd recommend getting the kit and a TR6 driver.

Per your confirmation I tried using the SATA cable from your Data doubler kit, but it failed to work for me, where I could not initialize the new SSD drive even though it is recognized by the OS. Any tips? I confirmed the SSD drive works by way of a USB caddy that I tested against 2 other macbooks running Yosemite.

Torq 6 - I do not think it is to keep someone out. The plastic clips on the cover look to be in the same place but since the cover is a clip on the head of the screw is smaller / different and hence they finished up with a smaller Torq size. I even have some Torq 5 floating around. At least Torq is a standard configuration unlike some other stuff that is really custom designed.

If they wanted to keep people out then they would have done something like they did in the old days: put a blob of paint over the head that you first had to scrape off. Then the inside would be marked with who did a repair.

The major thing I have an issue with is that the HDD is in the bottom slot and that the logic board has to be removed in order to get to it.

Is there an obvious size or accessibility issue that forced them into soldering the RAM down? I know Apple is all about sleek and slim, but was this necessary? 8GB isn't bad for a small workstation, but you can't ever have too much RAM. The option for the future would have been nice.

I think Apple was going for the simplest solution with the least amount of connections that could become loose. With the security screws, Apple obviously doesn't want anyone inside even though it appears to be easy to replace the hard drive, power supply, and fan. I see this as a commodity item where you replace instead of repair. I know that doesn't fit the mold of iFixit but at least they didn't glue it shut. If this model becomes the replacement for server farms, I would like to know how many Mac mini's are actually repaired when they fail and how many are simply replaced with new ones and fired back up (old ones either repaired or tossed).

I'm usually positive about new products but totally bummed about the Mac Mini line. I recently upgraded the ram on my Quad Core i7 Server to an undocumented 16GB, just by onscrewing the base and slipping 'em in. Felt great and made her run a lot more smoothly. Now I better take good care of her, because there'll be no more Quad Cores and no more user-upgradeable memory. And Apple couldn't give a shrimp. :-(

At first I was disappointed about the soldered-in RAM, but though it benefits Apple to keep any money spent on RAM upgrades, as a long time Mac fixer I suspect this may reduce memory failure. The tech for RAM slots is fragile / failure prone. Maybe soldered-in RAM is more reliable?

It's also nice to "set it and forget it;" just get as much or more RAM than you think you'll need and get on with using the machine. With today's SSD storage, the axiom that "you can never have too much RAM" doesn't hold as true - much faster page swaps between the memory and storage means one can run more or hungrier programs w/o noticeable bogging.

Think you didn't get enough RAM? Get or install the SSD card and make it your boot drive - you'll get a lot of bang for your buck! The ability to upgrade storage keeps this a viable platform for as long as needed.

BTW, I appreciated the Gertrude Stein quote. Thanks for bringing a bit of the literary arts world to the tech world - we need all the culture we can get. ;-)

Yes and no. Some apps simply need a lot of RAM, and if you run a bunch of these concurrently, you'll definitely feel the need for more of it. SSD, or even PCIe flash, is "further away" than RAM, and takes longer to read/write. Think of it this way: RAM is directly connected to the CPU, but HD/SSD/flash is connected thru the I/O subsystem.

It's ridiculous that the RAM is soldered on. I see a lot of people trying to rationalize it into something good, but for me this is Apple going too far. It's purely a profit focused decision, it has no actual benefit for the user and will make the device become obsolete much faster. These products should be boycotted.

Why don't you use the Wiha security toolbit kit? It has nearly all the security bits use today, comes with a nice prretty driver and now wiha sella all the sizes of the pentalobe. so you get high quality german craftsmanship for their drivers. i am sorry, but your tool set is no comparison to quality german engineering.

Why are you so obsessed with Torx screws, Torx 6 is a common size I have even smaller sizes in my tool kit. Its not some obscure screw size if you work in laptop repair. I get the feeling you like to impress amateurs by scaring them.

Apple claim to be a 'green' company, utter bull, how can you be 'green' if the product you are making has built in obsolescence?

On repairability, 6 is too high a score, imo. You are stuck with the ram you buy [who's going to pay Apple's prices for ram?}. When a PC goes wrong, one of the first things I do is check out the ram...how can one do this on this mac mini? Given the security screws, non user upgradability of the product -about the only thing you can do, replacing the HHD, invalidates the warranty I've been told- Apple are really taking its fanboys for the fools they are for continually paying top dollar for medium performance products.

Also the MBP and MBA models, Apple claimed the soldered ram and propriety flash was all about making their portables smaller, lighter and thinner...what is the excuse with the mac mini? Same size as the previous model -& NO option for a second drive- the latest mac mini shows that Apple is all about the money.

Can someone give a definitive answer on what type of Torx driver is required for the hard drive? Top of the articles sayS Torx 9, then at bottom it's a Torx 9 Security and pictured is a Torx 9 Security too.

I'm stuck with another ultra-slow 2014 mac mini that I want to upgrade. Has anyone solved the problem of how to connect an SSD while keeping the existing 500GB HDD in place? Is there a cable that will allow me to do this? Thanks.

Can I assume that if I bought a Mac mini with the 256GB SSD I could add a hard drive and hard drive cable later? Would this function as a fusion drive even though the SSD is 256GB as opposed to the 128GB SSD in Apple's official fusion drive?
